How Often Should I Paint the Exterior of My House?

Sanding a door for paint

In general, houses need a thorough paint job every 5-10 years. The key is to not wait to long. Once paint house reaches obvious signs of deterioration it will cost more to get it back up to specs. According to BetterHomes & Gardens, “The trick to saving money when it comes to painting your home is scheduling a paint job before it becomes an issue—not after.”

A big part of a quality paint job is preparation. The longer a house goes without new paint the more prep work is required in cleaning, scraping, sanding, priming and caulking. Sooner is better. Give us a call and we’ll get on it and get it done right the first time. Mike 541-497-3804
